Arthur is the master of making ones self present like a champion. He has successfully worked with a great number of our talentand the ones with the most success have taken the Vocal Awareness process and lived it. When the light switch goes on, its quite amazing to see the transformation as people go from somebody just talking to somebody owning every single syllable that comes out of their mouths. It really is groundbreaking. I have never seen a technique quite like it.

For my family, Rebecca/Isaac/Eli,
without whom life as I know it
would not exist.

For my students,
without whose canvas to paint upon
Vocal Awareness would not exist.

For my late motherand heroBetty,
without her courage and vision,
I would not exist.

I have spent the better part of my life paying attention to my outward appearance. Being in the spotlight of the sports and entertainment world, I have always been focused on my body image, clothing, jewelry, homesall the material things of life. I thought that these were the things that formed peoples first impressions about me, and I believed that these were the things that would make me happy.
